Located on a quiet hillside cul-de-sac, 242 Taos Road offers an opportunity to build in one of Altadena's most scenic foothill settings. The 13,485-square-foot downsloped lot features a large flat pad and sits along a paved road, capturing sweeping views that stretch from the San Gabriel Mountains to downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena. The elevation provides both privacy and an open outlook, while the site's orientation allows for flexible design options and abundant natural light. With easy access to Altadena's trail network, parks, and commercial centers, 242 Taos Road combines a peaceful foothill location with convenience and long-term potential.
